I mean that you can attack AEF from London only if you hold respective conditional border and when you can attack AEF from Bordeaux you also need to hold respective conditional border.from AEF to London or to Bordeaux is possible normal attack.

Does "bonus valid once" mean that you cannot have more than one bonus?

If I hold Italy and Ottoman, what do I get?

there are not written bonuses for states. my bad..."bonus valid once" is for occupied regions, not for state bonuses. and it is valid for the states of the same power only.

so if you hold German Empire and A, B, C, D non CP regions you get +2 for occupied regions. when you also hold Ottoman Empire you do not get next +2 for A, B, C, D non CP regions.

could you help me witht text here to write this correctly but short?

I'm thinking something like:

Override bonus:Hold one complete Major Power in either alliance (Central Powers or Entente) and get a bonus army for every two territories occupied inside an enemy power. You can collect only one override bonus.

then the list:

Entente:

UKFranceRussiaItaly

Central Powers:

GermanyAustria-HungaryOttomanBulgaria

On a related note, I think Bulgaria may be too easy to hold. Might want to sacrifice historical accuracy for the sake of playability there and leave Bulgaria as a minor power only.

Then again Italy doesn't really belong with the Entente, either. It was original signatory to Central Powers pact. But all this can be discussed later.

Now, the above is okay if you can only hold one side or the other. But if it is possible to hold an override bonus on both sides, then we have to go something like this:

Override bonus:Hold one complete Central Power and get a bonus army for every two territories occupied inside an Entente power.

Override bonus:Hold one complete Entente nation and get a bonus army for every two territories occupied inside a Central power.

I spoke about overrides with thenobodies. what do you mean with "collect only one override bonus"? it is not possible to code what I have: either you have 2 States of the same Power you get bonus for occupied regions only once?

wait, Bulgaria itself does not have bonus. only with Balkan States. and also bonus for occupied regions could be set up so: Bulgaria WITH Balkan States.

the map is not from 1914. as you can see the positions are from about 1915 when Italy was in war on Entete powers side.

you mean that I can write to legend "Overrides"? do people (players) know what means Override?

Dukasaur wrote:You can only hold one override bonus on each side.

wait, what I understan from thenobodies it is possible to do this:bonus for occupied regions (on the same side) valid once.and this is only what I want. I think...

I am realy confused with all these oerrides and so on. thank you for help and comments. I will work on update version, but I have broken leg and I also work on another maps.

despite the subject being familiar from europe 1914, i very much like the concept here of invasion routes thru the trenches only via the battlefields. the artwork is crisp and clear. unfortunately, the explanation of the conditional borders is not clear at all and u will need a different wording.

the map tries to cover too much territory, with the result that western and central europe, where the war was largely won and lost, looks tiny, while the ottoman empire has too many regions shown compared with its role in the war. u're attempting to show the russian revolution too, which adds unnecessary complexity to the bonuses: the russian empire by itself is enough, while moscow, samara, the railway and the don cossacks participated in the russian revolution rather than the great war.

i recommend that u draw a line roughly from petrograd to alexandria and delete all regions that are east of this line. after u do this, try rotating the playable area clockwise by 30 degrees and zoom in slightly with the playable area centred on vienna or munich, while using the space east of the petrograd-alexandria line for a unified legend.

the british empire and italy colours are too similar to each other, so it's unclear that malta is needed for the british bonus. perhaps use pink for the british empire, since pink was traditionally used by british cartographers?

why is corsica shown as independent? it was, and is, french! maybe it's best not to name corsica, but simply have it as an unplayable region in the french colour; delete the sea route from marseille, so that france can attack italy only thru lombardy, which keeps more of the play in the middle of europe.
